FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from R. J. Campbell, J. A. Jowett

[Rev. R. J. Campbell in Christian Commonwealth.]

In all of you this war between flesh and spirit, between the world and God, goes on unceasingly. You are all stretched upon your crosses, and all of you have cried out against the fate that condemned you thereto; all of you have prayed to be spared the bitter cup. All of you have at times been tempted to avoid it by deserting your indwelling Lord, which means betraying your own spirit. All of you have at some time or other gone bravely to your Calvary, a Calvary you could easily have escaped if you had been willing to stifle the divine voice and choose the baser part. Perhaps you cannot even now tell why you accepted suffering and loss rather than compromise with the particular evil that for the moment had power to hurt; but the only reason is that the Christ in you was strong enough to say no to the tempter and take the consequences.

[Christian Work and Evangelist.]
